Yes, don't expect to see Palm-Be For Desktops thou. Palm bought Be for the excellent engineers the code was a by product. Bits might make it into PalmX.
> 2) Was BeOS closed source or was it open sourced?
BeOS is closed source. However a few other versions have no appeared tring to remake BeOS. At lest two closed source (Max, and YellowTAB) At lest two open source, OpenBeOS, based on a brand spanky new kernal, and redeveloped from scrach. And BlueEyedOS, based on Linux.
> 3) Who owns the rights to BeOS PE?
Palm, but before Palm bought Be, Be did a deal with Max to alow it to redistrube it, and did a deal with YellowTAB to not only redistrubute it, but also modified versions of Dano (the next version of offical Be Inc BeOS).
> 4) Who develops these new drivers and the kernel???
Max, YellowTAB (but only for there distributions) and normal developers for gerneric R5 drivers. Then Linux devs for BlueEyedOS and OpenBeOS Developers for OBOS.
> 6) What about openbeos? Where do they fit into the BeOS picture??
It will take some time before OBEOS gets a usable version, so the Max & YellowTAB are here to fill the gap untill OBEOS takes off. I'm sure I've seen posts by both YellowTAB and the MAX people that they would like to be come OBEOS distrubuters when this happens.

No, but duel 2Ghz with 1Gb of RAM is.
If you have never heard about it, try actually using in a real envoroment.
Windows 2k, running the Java version of Samba, Huhahahahahhaahha
No, community service.
You have to go around your local area doing the same. (I always knew autorun was evil)
there is really no such thing as "speaker bracelet" or "candle truck".
GoogleWhacking is a "game" (for want of a better word) where you take two random words and try to get one, and only one result on Googe.
But that was for the old gernation of slashdot, not we have to grow up, and type:

What does Linux provide that BSD or Solaris do not?
